Where do I look for Home Depot clearance items?

Are there specific spots where they put clearance items? Are they next to similar types of items just with label 'clearance'?

Also remember with HD it's really YMMV on what is on clearance and the price it's on clearance for. Plus clearance prices do not show up on-line.
On-line pricing usually indicates what the "regular" price is.
Here's an old thread, that use to be very popular-

Late reply, but Home Depot "yellow tags" are not always clearance either. Their clearance prices end in $x.06, $x.03,$x.02, or at the very end, $0.01. So if you see a yellow tag that ends in say, $x.00, that's HD trying to mislead you into thinking you're getting a clearance item at a good price.
Rule of thumb is that the prices drop through the different levels over time. The good news is that HD clearance tags will have a date on them from when the sticker was put on the item, so you can 'track' them. A tag that has a date from several months ago will most likely be much cheaper at the register than the price shown on the tag.
Also, for what it's worth. The vast majority of the clearance items I bought were still on the shelves. The clearance section tends to be managed better by the employees, so it's harder to score the really good deals. Not impossible, just harder.
